Recently, someone who was in my grade (aged 15) passed away from lung cancer. I knew him since about third grade, and he has always been extremely short and had facial deformities. Recently, he has had to carry a respiratory pack around everywhere he went, and this made very loud noises. He has had almost no friends because of this, and even though I tried my hardest to be friendly with him, his condition often prohibited it. I was very hard-pressed when I heard about his passing, and I really find it hard to justify that "God has his reasons for anything". What kind of God gives a child incredible disadvantages and takes away their life at a mere 15 years? Please don't just say "God has his reasons" because thats what all my local religious officials say and I just don't believe that.
